Open RAN (Open Radio Access Network) is an industry initiative to standardize and disaggregate the hardware and software components of cellular network radio access networks, allowing equipment from different vendors to interoperate through open interfaces. Telecommunications companies pursue it to reduce dependence on a single vendor, lower costs, and increase flexibility in deploying 4G and 5G networks. It is championed by groups like the O-RAN Alliance and supported by carriers, chipmakers, and software vendors seeking a more competitive telecom equipment market.
